I Will Quit The Empress Novels & Stories

That desperate? I shook his hand off and looked past him at Annie, who stood there with a faint, satisfied smile. Now I understood why Annie had sent those videos and messages. She wanted to see me break. But I wouldn’t give her that. Even as every part of me screamed at them to get out, I kept my face calm, empty. “Or,” I said quietly, “I could leave. We get a divorce, and you two raise your child together.” “Flora!” Luca snapped, like I was the one being unreasonable. “I’m trying to discuss something important. Can you stop being emotional and actually support me for once?”

I threw the broken phone away and stood up. I said it, I really said it. There was one more piece of information I held back from Sapphire. To get Cordelia's full service, I accepted my position as the new empress of the reformed race of Mirties Perlai. I never thought I'd use my powers and authority to start a fight that might turn into a war, but I'd do it. I'll rip out Vivica's heart and trade her soul for Sapphire's even if I have to use forbidden magic. Vivica deserved the curse for the crime of wiping out a family of gipsies just so she could claim a man as her beloved.

"The wedding can go on as planned tomorrow. Don't let me ruin everyone's mood." With that, I turned and walked toward the exit. Hunter seemed about to say something. But Tiffany suddenly clutched her neck, her voice trembling as she whined, "Hunter… it hurts so much…" Hunter instinctively turned back, and Gabriel immediately looked at her as well. In that brief moment, I walked out of the backstage area. By the time they looked back again, the door had already closed. And I never looked back. That night, I returned to my new house and canceled every single wedding reservation, one by one.

“That’s what makes this so fucked.” That shut me up. Not because I disagreed. Because she was right. Emery had chosen me—again and again, even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when all I offered her was a fake picture of safety. I swallowed hard. “Where is she?” “She said she would be at a press brunch. Somewhere small, private, downtown. A chance to reclaim the narrative, I guess. Take her story back. On her own terms.” “That’s suicide,” I muttered. “They will devour her.”

My heart twisted so painfully that I could barely breathe. All I could do was reach out and hold Mother's ice-cold fingers as tightly as my small hands could manage. A flash of embarrassment crossed Cedric's face, but it was quickly swallowed by anger. "So what? Would you have me give up the woman I truly love for the sake of some arranged marriage? Even the Emperor himself defied every advisor in his court to keep his heart devoted solely to the Empress. How is it wrong for me to do the same?

"It saddens my heart to see you so despondent. If Prince Leon comes back and sees you like this, he will be heartbroken too!" Leon, oh! I could not let Leon see me like this. He was going to ask me what was the matter. No, I promised Catherland to be stoic. He must not have detected anything. I could not afford to cause any more trouble, and if I upset King Nick again, perhaps even my family would be implicated. "Emily, pull yourself together!" Shirley encouraged, "You can't just fall!" "Lola, did you say there were tulips in the garden?" I asked.

I walked back into the bedroom; Emily had come out from her hiding place. "I heard," she spoke. "Yes. He has a tendency of being very loud when he's upset," I responded. She nodded, sadly. Her grace had gone. "I think I'm ready to go back to my hotel tonight. I need to do some packing." "Packing, are you leaving? Are you leaving because of this?" "No Seb, it's really fine, honestly. Our fling is over and I think we should just both move on. Maybe you should get to know the Princess better and fulfill your duties with an open mind. You'll be happy."

I’m backing you! [Make the boss bleed a little. Otherwise she won’t know who’s in charge.] [Go for it. She can’t punish everyone. She won’t dare do anything to us.] [Once you gain followers, don’t forget me.] I gave Greg a meaningful look. Sweat instantly broke out across his face. He spun around, pointed at Tara, and put on an expression of bitter disappointment. Even his voice came close to tears. “Tara! I told you from the beginning not to be impulsive! You refused to listen! Just to become an influencer, you ruined us and the whole company!”

Emperor Claus knew how it felt to be cheated on so he would never do it to Emery, who had to see her ex-husband being in love with another woman. Only then, Emery noticed that the emperor was once again lost in his own world of thoughts. She could not really tell what was bothering him, but there was one thing she could do. She approached him and intertwined her fingers on his before pulling him along with her until they reached the east wing of the mansion. “Your Imperial Highness,” she said as they halted in front of his room. “I will give my best shot in the competition… Only if you want me to be your empress. But if you want it to be someone else, then just tell me okay?”

Every fear I had ever had was coming to life right in front of me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. *** I stood in front of the Wanix. Hopeless eyes stared back at me. “Um...fellow Wanix. It is uh with the heaviest of hearts that I stand before you right now. I am officially renouncing my title and stepping down as Empress of Gynem.” I was met with jeers and cries.
